Solve PP Molding Problems With Nucleating Agents.

The article discusses the significant innovations introduced by Milliken Chemical in the area of polypropylene (PP) nucleation and their benefits for injection molders of PP. Milliken's class of "Hyper" nucleating agents combine the highest crystallization rates and isotropic shrinkage with end-product physical properties. Polymer properties that can be affected by the addition of nucleating agents include stiffness and impact resistance. Ways to address pigment problems are also discussed.
